Pros

- Great pay compared to most entry positions ($18+ an hour) - Amazing benefits for those who are blue badge (not seasonal associates) - Work tasks are typically simple and easy - Many opportunities to advance your career if you exceed expectations for rate - You could be an hour late to work and there wouldn't be an issue as long as you have enough UPT (unpaid time off) or PTO saved.

Cons

- Work load can be high depending on facility - Repetitive tasks that can be boring - Most positions are night shift - HR can be difficult to work with when it comes to medical leaves - Becoming a permanent employee (blue badge) is not guaranteed and can take months of waiting.

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
